He rejected that though, specifically stating that "All other causes are not proximate thus secondary." This suggests that he does understand exclusivity in the normal manner, and that he is communicating his ideas in that context. For somebody who insists that words have meaning... proximal adj. V...

You're boring me, we can let him decide for himself which meanings he wishes to communicate using words and stuff. I gave him a conclusion that might just at a stretch be supported by his arguments: "my thesis is that one of the potential factors in the origin of theism might be an existential dilem...

Yawn. He is either caliming that ALL theistic religious beleif originates as he describes or he is not. His problem is that he is trying defend his claim as a weak one, but demands it be understood as a strong one. One contains an if-and-only-if claim, the other does not. If you want to defend an i...

My thesis conclusion is this; The most critical cause of theism is the existential crisis/dilemma traceable to DNA/RNA. All other causes are not proximate thus secondary. Pick one. If you are claiming that all alternative causes are insufficient, then you are claiming necessity on part of your argu...

My thesis did not insist it MUST happen, i.e. the existential crisis/dilemma MUST lead to theism. My thesis is the origin and cause of theism is driven by the existential crisis/dilemma traceable to the DNA/RNA. Therefore a genuine-clinging [not pretending] to theism is traceable to the existential...

Where I wrote 'link' and the intention is 'cause', it is a matter of semantics. Note Principle of Charity. Show me which premise is false? It doesn't matter if the premises are true or false, in fact your argument is so weak we can even let you have the conclusion just for laughs. It's simple, even...

You are SO ignorant and stupid. That is because your "reptillian" and barbarian brain is dominating your consciousness. If one were to google, the term "link" is related to "cause" .. Two examples from the millions.. Correlation is a link but not a cause. You are linked to your uncle but caused by ...

9. Therefore the irrational belief in God [theism] is linked to the existential crisis emerging from points 7 back to 1 [DNA/RNA].[/list] So, not caused, not the result of .... just linked? All that nonsense just to downgrade from conclusion to insinuation. You are SO ignorant and stupid. That is b...

per full metal jacket, why list that one only, of the list i provided its is lesser work that 3/4 of the rest. Your thread title was a reference to that specific movie, so I specified the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD4q3leE5Uw I never claimed to be "Special" ( or "better" per your labeli...

Note this; It is SO EVIDENT, the majority of humans 90% have resorted to the irrational belief "God exists as real" or cling to other religious beliefs to soothe the subliminal existential crisis. It's very evident that you have strong feelings that they do. But that is an assertion of your opinion...

There are various meanings of what is an existential crisis. Here is an argument to justify the substance of the existential crisis pulsating from an algorithm with the brain/mind of a person; 1. All humans are "programmed" [no God involved] to survive at all costs. 2. To ensure survival, any aware...
